In Response To: Understanding Backgammon Position #3 (Matt Cohn-Geier)

I agree that this is not the most exemplary position of "our game plan is to run". But it is one. And since best moves change with score it tickles me to put it in the "benchmark" - borderline cathegory. I would cathegorize it "payNOW borderline". I guess looking at it from a DMP prism would help see kit's point.

I have not read the book. Since it is a TALK between Kit and an intermediary, every talk tends to be incomplete and and unprecise. But is is more instructive to the given individual than a comprehensive research.

Barclay Cookes' Paradoxes and probabilities is a book I treasure even after the busting of many concrete reccomendations later by the bots. It was the ideas that triggerd me to think. Not the reccomendations.
